Starting MinimWatch
I would like to have MinimWatch start automatically when I reboot or start my computer. Currently, it seems the only way to start it is to start it manually after starting my PC. Is there a way to have start when booting Windows or, alternately, pinning the shortcut icon to the Taskbar? I am running the latest version of MinimWatch on a Windows 7 PC.

RE: Starting MinimWatch
I haven’t used 7 for a while, but I’m pretty sure you just create a shortcut for Minimwatch on your desktop, then drag it to your startup folder. Read this: https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/add-p...up-folder/

RE: Starting MinimWatch
If you copy the MinimWatch shortcut in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MinimWatch into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

that should (in theory) start it automatically. Not tried it - it's an executable Java file so not sure.

You'll need to show hidden files and folders in Explorer btw.

RE: Starting MinimWatch
Thanks to both of you for your help. The two suggestions basically led to the same place. However, the real problem I was having was creating the shortcut. I finally found it in the minimum program directory as shown on the attached screenshot. Copy this the Startup folder and it works.

RE: Starting MinimWatch
I was kindly pointed here by member timster and this fixes my query too.

Thanks to all involved for your help as I suspect I'd never have found where all the folders are.
